Don't you HATE the sound of a motorcycle revving up?

[Salandrin]

You know what I'm talking about. That little vroom vroom sound which leads to a ear deafeningly violent screech afterwards.

[Luko]

Sure, but it's like my old roomate's sex life. Yeah the noises get on your nerves but who could get that mad over something that lasts 4 seconds?

i hate all vehicles doing it. these people a few doors down do it nearly every day, just sit int heir car in the drive way and rev the engine, and then don't drive anywhere.

so yes, it does annoy me. well depends where, in a housing area, no need for it excessively, on the main road, don't care.

[dbnerd]

Having owned bikes, it's actually one of the best noises ever. However, what you're describing sounds more like douchebags who happen to own bikes.

[Aktillum]

I like the sound of a harley

[Deleted]

I love the sound of the big bikes, but mopeds and small bikes sound like a jam jar full of angry wasps.

[Lightwysh]

No, I rather enjoy the sound of motorcycles, all of them from 2 stroke to big v-twins or inline sport bike engines. The louder the better. Loud pipes save lives.

I might be biased because I grew up with bikes.

Also riding next to an asshat who is talking on a cell phone and revving extra loud until they hang up, turn or slowdown to get away is a terrific feeling.

[Deleted]

I enjoy it. Don't ride myself but my father does so I grew up in that environment and had lots of fun.

I have been around motorcycles all of my life. Raced motocross on 65's 85's and a little of 125's; and to me the sound of that engine is music to my ears!

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Depends on the engine. Just like with cars.

[Deleted]

Nope, I love the sound of bikes.
From the screeching of a Japanese crotch rocket such a a ZZR , to the Purring of a big Honda Goldwing, there is no sound like it.

this.....some of them sound great otheres sound like like shit

[Destruktion]

I only hate the Harley noises, they're so loud and grinding as to be obnoxious as possible.

[vindicatorx]

Having had a Motorcycle since I was 19 I am going to say no.

[GoldNSilence]

Harleys are overpriced pieces of noisy garbage.

[Dispraise]

Occasionally. Neighbor of mine used to go out around six in the morning, and just rev his engine for about twenty minutes. That was annoying. Did the same thing with his truck, which was significantly louder.

He ultimately moved out and a friendly, attractive Chilean woman moved in, so I abandoned my plan to leave a pack of thallium laced cola bottles on his porch.

I think this episode of southpark explains my stance on motorcycle noises

[Gheld]

This'er.

The sound of an engine revving is actually a whole concert of different sounds from the valve train all the way down to the crank shaft and out through the exhaust.

Different components make for different sounds and the right engine build is the difference between Beethoven's ninth and a broken, up side down kanye west album being hit with a cat in heat.

Agreed, especially the new models.. huge capacity engines that somehow sound like a 250cc at 10k rpm. I've always liked Triumphs for the sound.
